Loris Karius 6

Little to do first half, but did what he had to do pretty well. Came and claimed a long throw in the second half, which was good to see. Did well.

Joe Gomez 7

Targeted by Huddersfield’s diagonals, and was beaten in the air for Depoitre’s first-half chance. Given a lot of space down the right but Liverpool less inclined to use him than Robertson. Tended to stay back second half as Can drifted out to the right wing. Defensively fine, including one good late block to keep the clean sheet.

Joel Matip 7

Needed to improve after a horror-show at the weekend, and did. Passed the ball particularly well, except for one outrageous slice out of play. Came striding into midfield when needed and looked good doing so. One or two errors as the game wore on, but nothing costly.

Dejan Lovren 8

Showed good aggression winning the ball high up the field and his concentration levels were good. He and Matip barely put a foot wrong, and when Matip did his partner bailed him out.

Andy Robertson 7

A good outlet from the off, he spent the first half on the front foot and got into some really dangerous positions. One scary moment where Quaner tumbled under his challenge, otherwise a comfortable night.

Jordan Henderson 7

Solid in midfield on his first start of the year, he was everywhere his team needed him to be. Loud, composed, energetic and comfortable. It was good to see.

Emre Can 8

Good strike, albeit lucky with the deflection, to open the game up. At times took too many touches, but at others his power and positivity was an asset. Delivered two fine crosses for Mane after the break as he found himself playing on the right flank. Then won the penalty, albeit a soft one.

James Milner 7

In to add industry and experience – and, according to Klopp, so Liverpool could field a Yorkshireman – he provided bite where it was needed. Picked up loads of second balls. Lost his battle with Salah for the pen, though.

Sadio Mane 6

A mixed first half, with loose touches and passes, but also a goal assist. Forced a save from Lossl second half with a header and then sent another wide. He’s not at his best, but boy he’s trying.

Mohamed Salah 7

Bursts of involvement where he came in from the right to get on the ball. His threat is such that he doesn’t always need to be right in the thick of it. Huddersfield were terrified of him. Cool as you like from the spot. He’s in line to become the fastest Reds player to 20 league goals.

Roberto Firmino 8

Brilliant, brilliant goal, the type only a player with his gifts and imagination can score. He doesn’t always get it right, but when he does he makes life so much easier for those around him. When he plays like this, Liverpool win.
